Ep 75 What to Do When Your Coaching Feels Stuck (And You Know Your Client is Trying)


Listen Later

Have you ever had a coaching client who’s engaged, reflective, and genuinely trying — but you keep coming back to the same issue session after session?

In this episode, I’m talking about what’s really going on when coaching feels stuck even though your client is doing the work. This is a common experience for coaches, and it’s not a sign that you’re failing — it’s usually a signal that something important hasn’t been addressed yet.

I walk you through:

  • What I specifically listen for when sessions start going in circles
  • Two of the most common reasons progress stalls with motivated clients
  • How I name patterns (and the "elephant in the room") without judgment or pressure
  • Why this is one of the most challenging — and important — coaching skills to develop
  • If you’ve ever left a session thinking, “We talked a lot, but nothing really shifted,” this episode will help you understand why — and what to do next time.
